Russian soldiers during the Great War

By 1918, the German forces had already broken the radio codes of the Allied Forces’ and successfully tapped into their phone lines and captured messenger runners in order to anticipate future movements. Desperate to gain an edge over their enemy, members of the Choctaw nation (who were not yet considered citizens of the United States) were asked by the government to use their language as the code. This act alone set a precedent for code talking around the world as an effective military weapon and established the Choctaw language as America’s original code talkers. In fact, the men set the foundation for all other battlefield code talkers, including the Navajo who were so instrumental in the Pacific during the Second World War.
Despite the short time the Choctaw code was in use, it remained unbroken.
